With another local gtfour.


The interior is in good shape, it just needs to be cleaned well.


I need to clean the engine bay some as it still has a bit of dust in it. I may make a panel for the air filter as well. The contraption on the top is the water to air intercooler.


A shirt I am making inspired by the car.








With a local 6th gen.




At the years first autox.



Winter wheels (I need to fixed a curbed one and paint them all one color)

And the front lip I just finished working on today. After it has some time to cure I will mount it.

This makes me miss my 5th gen.

I was just reading about your lip on ctech today!

Love your 5th gen BTW. Makes me want another one

THanks guys.

Holy cow... that is one beautiful ST185. I'm finding it difficult to think of a better looking one. Excellent car, man!

I haven't checked your thread on the Z forums lately. It's coming together perfectly! I love my new Z and all but Celicas are my first love. I can't wait to see what's in store for your 185 after you sell the Z.

Thanks guys. I love the Z, but we have a kid on the way so no more 2 seaters for me. Once I finish the brakes, and AC I will make a push to get the Z sold. The things I am working on will likely wrap up what I do for the year.

For the distant future, I am planning a front LSD. That is if quaife comes through on our group buy. Then likely more weight reduction. Maybe a painted CF hood and roof plug. Maybe some lighter racing seats. Then of course the next major purchase will be some nice light wheels. My 17x9 fall in the 19-20lb range right now. I want to get something in the same size but closer to 16lbs. So if they are still made, I might get some advans but I am leaning towards rpf1s just cause they are cheaper to replace and going to be made a while. On top of that, I plan on maybe a GPS speedo, 205 transmission or lower final drive. Running rc fd + 2" taller tires takes away some of my acceleration fun.

remove the sunroof. but yea great looking car. 255 size tires are absolutely huge which does compensate for the 9 inch wide rims.

yea the 17 x 8 rpf1 will be good since they come with a +35 offset.

If I get the any new wheels they will be at least 17x8.5. If I get the rpf1 I will get 17x9.

makes me want to get my All-Trac finished

Get to it Smaay.

Lol first he has to finish his celica....or maybe his supra...

One corner done.

Awesome car. I'd like to have a 5th gen All-Trac one of these days.

wow nice ride. not used to seeing clean 5th gens! keep up the good work!

one of my must have cars.

looks beautiful!

I've never found myself particularly attracted to any 5th gen, but that is beautiful. Must be the silver that does it...
